About the role
- These technologies are rapidly transforming agricultural intelligence, allowing farmers to make faster and more informed decisions that translate into highly precise actions and more productive farms.
- Our first application solved one of the most disliked tasks on the farm: clearing rocks.
- The annual emergence of news rocks impacts nearly half of farms in North America, slowing farming, damaging equipment, and causing downtime during seeding and harvesting.
Responsibilities
- Work with the robotics team to architect, design and implement novel robotic systems for controlling ground-based rovers in farm fields
- Develop test plans for component and system level testing and validation
- Build and test systems in the field
- Collaborate with the product team to clarify requirements
- We are seeking a hands-on Senior Robotics Engineer with experience building real-world robotic systems.
- You would join our team building the first autonomous ground-based mapper on the market.
Requirements
- If there are preparations we can make to help ensure you have a comfortable and positive interview experience, please let us know.
- Strong C++, Python skills & expertise in ROS or similar robotics software framework
- Deep and current knowledge of robotics autonomy, including motion planning, localization, navigation, and sensor fusion
- Working knowledge of low level controls, including trajectory tracking, feedback control, and state estimation
- Experience integrating a wide range of sensing hardware, including LIDAR, cameras, other range-finding sensors, inertial navigation, GPS/GNSS sensors
- Experience working in a Linux-based environment including modern software engineering practices, experience with git and pull reviews
Nice to have
- Field robotics experience with developing new AGVs, UAVs, USVs, or UUVs
- Knowledge of communication protocols including CANBUS, TCP/UDP and wireless communication
- Knowledge of Rust
- Experience with embedded systems, real time applications, PLCs and industrial automation technologies
- Simulation and hardware-in-the-loop testing experience
- Experience with hydraulic and electrical actuators and systems
Compensation
- Competitive base salary
- 100% of premiums paid for employees and 85% of premiums paid for dependents
- An inclusive and tight company culture that is mission driven
- The annual emergence of news rocks impacts nearly half of farms in North America, slowing farming, damaging equipment, and causing downtime during seeding and harvesting.
Benefits
- Leveraging our commercial success in rocks, we are now expanding our core technologies to new farm applications including the precise management of weeds, pests, disease and overall plant health.
- We value learning directly from the farmers we serve, getting our hands dirty, and tackling tough challenges together.
- Pre-IPO stock options (tax-advantaged ISOs)
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance
- Generous paid time off and holidays
